Restaurant Review
If you are looking to eat authentic Italian homemade food , then look no further than this little restaurant in Wooburn Green .
Centrally located in the village , the restaurant looks very inviting with its inside / outside decking and sprawling grapevine over the entrance . The bi-folding doors give Dolce a light and bright feel and a warm welcome from Pasq is always waiting .
Once inside you ’ ll be surprised by the contemporary styling and sepia images adorning the walls . But let ’ s talk about the food , and we ’ ve got a lot to say !
Following Pasq ’ s lead ( he ’ s the owner ) we shared the Spaghetti con Gamberi Anchovies to start . This isn ’ t something we would usually order with anchovies being quite salty , but it was delicious . Pasq explained that during the cooking process the anchovies break down ( not literally ) and create an extremely tasty sauce to accompany the tiger prawns , cherry tomatoes , white wine , chilli , spinach and rocket . Honestly , please try this because we absolutely loved it !
This was followed by a pizza of two halves , one being Pizza di Busso and the other Pizza di Santino – I just couldn ’ t decide which one to order so that problem was solved , I had them both . Once again , very delicious , and very filling .
Washed down with excellent Italians wines ( you won ’ t find any other nation ’ s wine on the menu ) we took time to take in the atmosphere and admire the styling of the restaurant . It really is quite unique .
Despite our tummies being full we did manage to just about sample the artisan pistachio ice cream . Very green , but oh so tasty .
The prices are reasonable with pizzas starting at just £ 9.95 .
Established in 2009 , we have watched this restaurant grow and grow . There is plenty of free parking to the rear of the restaurant and the hospitality is true to form of Italians with cheeky chat and plenty of friendly banter .
We know how hard it is to run your own business and Pasq has done so well with Dolce . Days off are all too few so for the first two weeks of January the restaurant closes so the staff can have some rest and relaxation .
COMING SOON an invitation to a tasting evening Details to follow .
